Ok, this one is for the house photographers. To what lengths will you go to get that perfect shot? How close to the action will you stick your neck out?

Now, I am not a pro shooter. But i did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once or twice. Hell, I don't even have a digital SLR camera. So I point and shoot with my Sony digital thingie. But, I have been pretty damn close to the action.

There was one time at St. Pete that The Master and I were shooting in a photo hole at the exit of a left hand turn on the backside of the convention center. Turn 7 or 9 maybe? Head out the hole less than two feet from the cars.

Anyway, heres come Pruett throttle down on the exit...decibels just freaking screaming at us...he tracks out to drivers' right and pushes the jersey barrier into JT and I. We both just look at each and giggle, "dude!" It was neat.

Standing in the hairpin at Long Beach, isolated out there, is a thrill too.

So, gimme your best shot.
